All Reviews for Sightseeing Tours

I think the timing of my visit at the end of April, just before Golden Week, was perfect. The pleasant air, bright sunshine, and the tropical flowers in full bloom created a beautiful setting as we slowly moved along the narrow paths lined with traditional houses in a water buffalo cart. It felt like a different world. It was also nice that there were hardly any tourists from overseas.

4月末のゴールデンウイーク前で、訪れた時期も良かったと思います。気持ちのいい空気と明るい日差し、南国の花が咲き乱れる中、伝統的な家屋が立ち並ぶ細い道をゆっくりと進む水牛車。別世界のような美しさでした。押し寄せる海外からの観光客が殆どいなかったのも良かったです。

The guide was knowledgeable and had endless topics to discuss, which helped us get through the 10-hour round trip! This time, the weather was clear and the path was mostly non-slippery, but having the guide made me feel more secure, and I was able to enjoy the experience without worrying about pacing myself.

知識が豊富で、話題も付きないガイドさんだったので、往復10時間乗り切れました！
今回は晴天で足元もほぼ滑らない道中でしたが、それでもガイドさんがいる方が安心で、ペース配分も考える必要なく楽しめました。

The sightseeing time was just right. I think there were moments when I wanted to see a bit more, but I felt that every place was just perfect. I was also grateful that we could get off at the accommodation. The guide's stories were enjoyable as well. Thank you very much.

観光の時間が丁度良かったです。よくもう少し見たかったなぁとかあると思うのですが、どの場所も丁度良かったと思いました。
宿泊施設で下車する事が出来たことも有り難かったです。ガイドさんのお話しも楽しかったです。有難うございました。

I usually don't exercise and I dislike mountain climbing, but after being moved by Shiratani Unsuikyo last year, I decided to challenge myself and try to reach Taiko Rock. As I had researched beforehand, the climb from the moss-covered forest to Taiko Rock was really tough. I think I would have given up if it weren't for the guide. When I finally mustered my last bit of strength and reached the summit, I was truly moved by the view in front of me and felt that it was worth climbing!

普段の生活で運動をしないし、山登りも嫌いな自分ですが、去年白谷雲水峡に感動し、次は太鼓岩まで行ってみたいと思い挑戦しました。
事前に色々と調べたとおり、苔むすの森からの太鼓岩、本当にきつかったです。
ガイドさんいなかったら諦めていたと思う。
最後の力を振り絞って頂上へ着いた時、目の前の景色に本当に感動して登って良かったと心から思いました！

I used the bus tour that I relied on during my first trip to Okinawa and Hokkaido again. As a result, it was great. I had planned to visit the Churaumi Aquarium since I already knew about it, but I had no idea about American Village, Kouri Island, or Manza Beach, so it was definitely the right choice to use the tour.

I believe the tour guide was from Korea and China, and I was impressed by how well they managed in an unfamiliar country. Their Japanese was very good, but it seemed there were times when communication was challenging, so it must be a tough job. It was a fun and worthwhile tour that matched the price. Thank you very much.

初めての沖縄、北海道旅行の際に頼ったバスツアーをまた利用しました。
結果、大変良かったです。美ら海水族館は知ってたから行こうとは思ってたものの、アメリカンビレッジ・古宇利島・万座毛のことは全く知らなかったので利用して正解でした。

添乗員さんは韓国と中国の方だったと思いますが、慣れない国でよく頑張っていらっしゃるなあと感心しました。日本語もとてもお上手でしたがやはり上手くやり取りできない事もあるようで大変なお仕事と思います。
金額に見合ったお得で楽しいツアーでした。有難う御座いました。

I was really satisfied with the mangrove canoeing experience, just as I had imagined. They were considerate about taking photos so that not many other people were in them, and I have done quite a few activities, but I really enjoyed this one!

思い描いていた通りのマングローブカヌーができてすごく満足です。写真も他の人があまり映らないように配慮いただいたり、アクティビティは結構してきましたがとても楽しめました！

It was a sudden order, but I'm glad we found just the right tour. The bus was a bit small, but well, it can't be helped.

急なオーダーでしたが、ちょうどよいツアーが見つかりよかったです。少しバスは小さかったですが、まあしかたないですね。

We had a wonderful experience in Kyoto driven & guided by Ken san, a real gentleman, who took us to see the sights & guided us through them. Would highly recommend.

In April, before the Golden Week, Hokkaido is in the maintenance period after winter, so many facilities were closed. I decided to join a bus tour. It was my first time visiting places like Lake Shikotsu, Lake Toya, and Cape Earth, and the tour guide provided detailed advice and explanations, making the experience enjoyable! The A course included a stroll through the Toya Onsen town, and the B course featured a ropeway. I was informed that depending on the situation, lunch time could be tight, so if you don't have any specific preferences, it would be a good idea to prepare sandwiches or bento in advance to enjoy a leisurely lunch. I chose the B course and took the ropeway (which had an additional fee), and the weather was nice and pleasant. At the top of the mountain, there were chairs and sofas, as well as a space to eat and drink, allowing for a relaxed picnic atmosphere. Additionally, there was a small discount at the Silo Observation Deck, so I was able to purchase souvenirs at a better price. Thank you for a wonderful day from early morning until evening!

GWに入る前の4月の北海道は、冬明けのメンテナンスの時期にあたるとのことで、いろいろな施設などがお休みだったりしたので、バスツアーに参加してみました。
支笏湖や洞爺湖、地球岬など初めて行ったのですが、添乗員さんがきめ細やかなアドバイスや解説をしてくださり、楽しく過ごせました！Aコースの洞爺湖温泉街散策もBコースのロープウェイも、場合によってはお昼時間がギリギリになるとのことだったので、特にこだわりがなければ、事前にサンドイッチやお弁当などを準備して持っていけば、ランチもゆっくりできると思います。今回、Bコースを選びロープウェイ（別料金）に乗りましたが、お天気も良く気持ちよかったです。見晴らしのいい山の上に椅子やソファなどもあり、飲食できるスペースもあるので、ピクニック気分でのんびりできました。また、サイロ展望台で少し割引があって、お土産などもちょっとお得に購入できました。朝早くから夕方までありがとうございました。

It was a fun day of snorkeling and canoeing!

We did snorkeling in the morning, had lunch in between, and then went canoeing in the afternoon. I was actually disappointed when the plan changed from the Blue Cave to Osaki due to bad weather, but I was very satisfied to see a sea turtle up close, which is quite rare even in the Blue Cave. Plus, it was nice that it wasn't too hot!

During the morning snorkeling:
- The instructor taught us carefully, so I was able to start with a float and then swim on my own and enjoy it.
- The water clarity at Osaki was high, allowing us to observe colorful fish, sea turtles, and sea snakes up close.
- We had the amazing experience of a sea turtle coming up for air right in the middle of our group.
- Looking back, I'm glad we experienced Osaki instead of the Blue Cave.

In the afternoon mangrove canoeing:
- Thanks to the humorous instructor, we had a great time.
- We were able to observe hermit crabs (maybe?).

Overall, it was a day full of extraordinary experiences that even beginners could enjoy safely! By the way, during the lunch break between the morning and afternoon sessions, we took a shower at a tour-related facility and then went to a recommended burger place that serves Ishigaki beef, which was also excellent.

As for other highlights, we saw the following from the car window:
- Sugarcane fields and their processing factory
- Ishigaki beef and Jersey cows
- Peacocks (they were spreading their feathers and making sounds)
- Pigs (maybe Agu pigs?)

参加して楽しいシュノーケリングとカヌーでした！

シュノーケリングは午前に実施して、お昼を挟んで、カヌーは午後に実施しました。
実は天候不良で予定していた青の洞窟から大崎に変更になりガッカリしていたのですが、青の洞窟でもなかなか遭遇しにくい？ウミガメを間近で見ることができて、大満足でした。しかも暑くなくて良かった！

午前のシュノーケリングでは、
・インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれたので、浮き輪スタートでも途中から自力で泳いで楽しむことができました
・大崎の海の透明度が高く、カラフルな魚・ウミガメ・ウミヘビを間近で観察できました
・ウミガメが自分たちの輪の中に息継ぎしにくるという感動体験がありました
・今思うと青の洞窟でなくて、体験できた大崎で良かったです

午後のマングローブカヌーでは、
・ユーモアたっぷりのインストラクターのおかげで楽しめました
・ヤドカニ（？）の生き物も観察できました

全体を通して、
初心者でも安心して参加できる、非日常感たっぷりの一日でした！
ちなみに午前と午後の間のお昼では、ツアー関連の施設でシャワーを浴びた後、インストラクターさんのおすすめの石垣牛ハンバーガー屋さんに行きました。
こちらのおすすめも非常に良かったです。

その他見所ですが、車窓から次を見れました
・サトウキビ畑とその加工工場
・石垣牛とジャージー牛
・くじゃく（羽開いたり、鳴いてました）
・豚（アグー豚？）

Since we couldn't go to Uni Beach during the sunset time on that day, we changed our plans to the morning. It was absolutely beautiful, and I'm really glad we chose this tour.

The staff were very friendly and approachable, making our experience so enjoyable! On the way back on the boat, we were looking for turtles, but we had a hard time finding any. The captain didn't say anything, but I felt like he was being considerate of us, taking a longer route to help us find them. And we finally spotted one! The captain was quite handsome too! Thank you for a wonderful time.

この日のサンセット時間帯はユニの浜には行けないということで午前中に変更していただきました。とにかく美しいし、このツアーを選んで良かったです。
それにとても気さくで接しやすく、可愛らしいスタッフさんに対応いただきとても楽しく過ごせました！帰りのボートではカメが見られることが…ということで探していたのですがなかなか見つからず。船長さんは何も言っていませんでしたが、なんとなくカメを必死に探す私たちを気遣って遠回りしてくださっていたように感じました。そして見つけられました！船長さん、イケメンですね！素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

I participated with a friend. At first, we considered renting a car, but choosing this option turned out to be a great decision! The guide provided explanations throughout the journey, and they were very clear and made for an enjoyable sightseeing experience. The Western Forest Road is a narrow one-way road where we had to yield to each other, but the driving was really skillful, taking us to many great spots. Lunch also included a set meal with fried flying fish. Since it’s combined with a souvenir shop, you can do some shopping too. I got on near the accommodation and was dropped off at a bus stop near a different rental car company in another town. This flexibility was very kind. I highly recommend it! ♪

友人と2人で参加しました。
はじめはレンタカーで周ろうかとも考えましたが、こちらを選んで大正解でした！
ガイドさんは移動中も終始説明してくださり、この説明がとても分かりやすく、楽しい観光となりました。
西部林道は一方通行の様な細い道路を譲り合いながら進むのですが、本当に上手な運転で我々をたくさんの見所へ連れて行ってくれました。
お昼もトビウオの唐揚げ定食も付いてました。
お土産屋さんと一緒なので、お買物も出来ます。
私は宿付近で乗り、違う街のレンタカー会社付近バス停で降ろして頂きました。
そんな融通性もあり、とても親切です。
オススメです♪

The guide spoke about historical sites, military bases, and the current situation in Okinawa from a natural standpoint, without imposing their views. Although the bus ride was long, I had a great time.

史跡のこと基地のこと沖縄の現状等、ガイドさんはナチュラルな立場で考えを押し付けることなく話してくれていたように感じました。バスの乗車時間が長かったですが良い時間が過ごせました。

The weather was nice, and the kindness of the tour guide was excellent. The scenery from the sightseeing boat was very beautiful, and I couldn't help but take some photos.

天気も良く、添乗員の方の親切な対応が非常良かったです。遊覧船での周りの景色が非常に良くつい写真を撮らせていただきました。

I chose this tour because I'm greedy and wanted to do a lot. It was just as I expected, a packed tour that was enjoyable. I had so many things I wanted to do, and the day was fulfilling.

欲張りだから、沢山行けるこのツアーを選びました。
思った通り盛りだくさんのツアーで楽しめました。
やりたいことが沢山あって1日充実しました。

- The guide was beautiful and had a great singing voice, singing island songs accompanied by the sanshin.
- The limestone cave was quite spacious and impressive.
- At Kabira Bay, we experienced the optional glass-bottom boat, where the person steering also acted as a guide, providing explanations as we went along. The photos only show coral, but there were schools of colorful fish of various sizes, including clownfish, which we could observe closely.
- For lunch, we had a set with Ishigaki beef hamburger, and unlike store-bought ones, the hamburger had a strong meaty flavor.
- At Tamatorizaki Observatory, we were able to fully enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views.

If you use it on the last day, you can get off at the airport at the end. Since it's a limousine bus, you can participate with your suitcase. If I could wish for something, I would have liked to include a visit to Yaeyama Village to interact with the macaques, and it would be nice if the course were about an hour longer.

・ガイドさんが美人で歌も上手く、島唄を三線にのせて歌ってくださいました。
・鍾乳洞は結構広くて見応えありました。
・川平湾ではオプションのグラスボートを体験、操縦する方がガイドもされていて説明を聞きながら進みます。写真は珊瑚しか写ってないですが、色とりどり、大きさも様々な魚群、クマノミもいて、じっくりと観察ができました。
・昼食は石垣牛のハンバーグランチセットで、ハンバーグは市販のと違い、お肉をしっかり感じるものでした。
・玉取崎展望台は360度見渡す限りの絶景を心ゆくまで堪能できました。

最終日に利用すると最後に空港で下車できます。
リムジンバスなのでスーツケース持参で参加可能。
欲を言えば、やいま村、リスザルと触れ合う、などもコースに入ってあと1時間くらい長いといいな、と思いました。

I participated in the long-awaited Blue Cave tour! Luckily, I was able to swim with sea turtles, which became a lifelong memory. The blueness of the cave was stunning, and colorful tropical fish swam right in front of me, making it feel like a natural aquarium. It was the best experience, and I am very satisfied!

念願の青の洞窟ツアーに参加しました！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができて、一生の思い出になりました。洞窟の青さもさることながら、カラフルな熱帯魚が目の前をたくさん泳いでいて、まるで天然の水族館のよう。最高の体験ができて大満足です！

This was my first time participating, and I felt truly cared for from start to finish, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. I learned a lot about the ocean, making it a special experience that was more than just swimming. They took many photos and videos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I definitely want to participate again!

初めて参加しましたが、最初から最後まで本当に丁寧に対応していただき安心して楽しめました。海の知識もたくさん教えてもらえて、ただ泳ぐだけじゃない特別な体験になりました。写真や動画もたくさん撮っていただき、一生の思い出です。また絶対参加したいです！

I participated in the jungle night tour, and it was more impressive than I expected! The coconut crab I encountered in the darkness was much larger than I imagined, and I was overwhelmed by its strength. Also, when I looked up, the starry sky was filled with so many stars that it felt like they might spill over, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The guide's explanations were thorough, making it an unforgettable and amazing night!

ジャングルナイトツアーに参加しましたが、期待以上の大迫力でした！暗闇の中で遭遇したヤシガニは、想像よりもずっと大きく、その力強さに圧倒されました。また、ふと見上げた星空は、こぼれ落ちそうなほど満天の星で、言葉を失うほどの美しさです。ガイドさんの解説も丁寧で、忘れられない最高の夜になりました！

I think the color of the sea would have been even more beautiful if it had been sunny, but even so, the mangrove tour provided a lot of interesting explanations, allowing me to learn many things I didn't know. I crossed the sea on a water buffalo cart, and while leisurely touring Taketomi Island, I experienced a performance of the sanshin. It was a very satisfying tour! Additionally, the bus driver on Iriomote Island was a great storyteller, making the trip very enjoyable. I also got to see the special natural monument, the crested serpent eagle.

晴れていればもっと海の色も綺麗だっただろうなぁと思いますが、それでもマングローブの遊覧ではいろんな解説で知らないことをたくさん知ることができ、水牛車で海を渡ったり、竹富島観光も水牛車でのんびり周りながら三線演奏を体験して、大満足のツアーでした！また、西表島でのバスの運転手さんは、お話上手でとても楽しめました。特別天然記念物のカンムリワシも、見れました。

I was glad to efficiently visit the highlights of Osaka. Listening to the guide's stories deepened my understanding. I recommend this for those who want to know the city of Osaka but don't have much time.

大阪の見どころを効率よく回れて良かったです。ガイドさんのお話を伺うことで理解も深まります。あまり時間はないが大阪の街を知りたい人にお勧めです。

The heavy rain unexpectedly caused a cancellation. The next day, we changed our destination to the mossy forest. The forest after the rain was magical and beautiful. I will definitely make a comeback to see Jomon Sugi.

大雨でまさかの中止。
翌日、行先変更で苔むす森へ。
雨上がりの森は幻想的で綺麗でした。
必ず縄文杉行きをリベンジします。

Despite the unfortunate weather, I participated with a faint hope, but I couldn't see the stars after all. However, our guide Kenken worked hard to find coconut crabs and shared many stories about the creatures of Ishigaki, as well as information about stars and constellations, which made me feel a deep love for Ishigaki. ♥ In the end, we also got to see fireflies, which left me extremely satisfied. I definitely want to come back for a revenge trip to see the starry sky!

あいにくのお天気の中、微かな希望を持って参加しましたが、やっぱり星は見られずでした。でも、ガイドのケンケンさんが、一生懸命にヤシガニを見つけてくれたり、石垣の生き物の話や、星や星座の事などたくさん教えてくれて、石垣への愛をたっぷり感じさせてもらいました♥
最後にホタルも見送ってくれて、大大満足でした。また、星空を見にリベンジしたいと思います！

Driver Tanaka was amazing. He fulfilled almost all of our wishes, making it a very enjoyable trip. The conversations in the car were also interesting, and he was very kind to guide us at the sightseeing spots. I would definitely like to request him again the next time I go to Kumamoto!

ドライバーの田中さんが最高でした
希望をほとんど叶えてくださって
とても楽しい旅になりました
車内でのお話も興味深かったですし
観光地ではついて案内してくださってとても
親切にしていただいて良かったです
次回熊本に行く時は是非また
お願いしたいです〜

Swimming with colorful fish in the transparent sea was more moving than I could have imagined, and it was the best time to completely forget about my daily life and truly refresh myself.

透明な海の中で色とりどりの魚と一緒に泳ぐ体験は想像以上に感動的で、日常を忘れて心からリフレッシュできた最高の時間だった。

To participate in this tour, you need to practice walking for at least a few hours; otherwise, it can be tough. Since I don't usually do trekking or mountain climbing, I started practicing by walking for about 2 to 3 hours on weekends, two months prior to the tour, and I was able to see Jomon Sugi without any issues. However, I'm not sure if my practice was sufficient.

Our guide, Ando, monitored our fatigue levels and adjusted the pace accordingly. It was challenging, but I was able to achieve it in a fun way. Thank you very much!

このツアーに参加するには、最低でも数時間歩く位の練習をしていないと、キツいです。　自分はトレッキングや登山などしないため、2カ月前位から週末に2〜3時間程度の歩く練習をして挑み、無事に縄文杉を見ることが出来ましたが、練習が十分だったかと言われると微妙です。
ガイドの安藤さんは、自分たち疲労度を見ながら、ペース配分を考えてガイドしていただき、キツかったですが、楽しく達成するこどが出来ました。ありがとうございました！

I used a charter taxi for the first time. I was able to visit all the places I wanted, and when I had extra time, I could also go to the recommended spots suggested by the driver. While I was exploring the destinations, the driver waited in the taxi, which was great because it meant I didn't have to worry about sticking to a strict schedule. If I have the chance again, I would like to use this service.

貸切タクシーを初めて利用しました。行きたい所は全て回れましたし、時間が余った時に運転手さんのおすすめの場所にも行けました。目的地散策中、運転手さんはタクシーの中で待っていてくれるので、予定時間より前後しても問題ないところもとても良かったです。また機会があれば、利用したいです。

There were only four Japanese people, but the guide was kind and a nice person. It was my first time participating, but I'm glad I went.

日本人は4人だけでしたけど。
ガイドさんも　優しくいい方でした。
初めての参加だったけど

行って良かったです

Overall, it was disappointing. It might be due to the schedule. The pose options were limited, so I should have decided on my own. If I take photos again, I will choose a different place.

全体的に期待はずれ。日程もありそうだけど。
ポーズ指定薄めだから自分で決めるべきだった。
次撮るなら別のところにする。
